When it comes to software development, are you a hobbyist or a professional? What does this even mean, what is the difference between doing software development as a hobby or a job? Neither of these things is wrong, but understanding which one you are doing matters, working at your hobby as though it is a job is probably a mistake, and working at your job as though it is a hobby is an even bigger mistake. In this episode Dave Farley, professional programmer, ex-hobbyist and author of best selling books "Continuous Delivery" and "Modern Software Engineering" explores the differences, and describes some behaviours that may demonstrate where people sometimes get these two wrong. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⭐ PATREON: Join the Continuous Delivery community and access extra perks & content!
